Computer Labs<\/h2>\n

Library Laptop Checkout<\/h2>\n

During the pandemic the library laptop fleet was greatly expanded. Laptops can be checked out for a semester at a time.\u00a0 We have approximately 135 machines available for long term checkout. We will be prioritizing requests to students with financial need. To request a long-term laptop loan, fill out the Student Laptop Loan Request<\/a> form.<\/p>\n <\/span>\n

Augsburg has shifted to providing Mobile Hotspots as part of the Emergency Broadband Benefit<\/a> (EBB) program.\u00a0 To learn more about the process or to submit an application, please visit Augsburg’s EBB page.\u00a0 All previously checked out hotspots will need to be returned prior to Fall Semester.<\/p>\n
